This is a GREAT recipe! I made it for supper last night and my husband and I both loved it. I used three chicken breasts instead of six; I think using six would require a little more rice and perhaps more of the spice mixture. Also, I had to increase the cooking time by 15 to 20 minutes in order to bring the rice to the right consistency. Otherwise, PERFECT recipe. It is already a favorite of ours!
